A Song Wltliout Sentiment,
AFTER TUB MANNBR OP ONE WITH.
No Will, we've net missed you 1
There's no truth Iu what you've heard;
They said it but to "Bell" you,
To believe it were absurd.
I would not hurt your feelings,
Yet 'tis well the truth be known;
We goon best without you,
So pray don't hurry home 1
One can sleep in peace and quiet,
Willie, now that you're away ;
For you kuow that you were a late bird,
And ne'er perched till break ol day.
Now, no more your spirit-rapping
In spirit makes us groan,
Aa when nightly you got groggy,
And at four meandered home.
Then those rackety "old schoolfellows"
Who would keep dropping in,
What a nuisance was their '■sky-larking,"
Their drinking and their din!
How filthy were one's dresses
With the odor from their pipes:
While you ran one's servants' lege off,
Sendiog hourly out for ''swipes,"
Oh, Willie, now you're gone dear,
What happy days we've passed 1
No rows, love disturb U3 ;
Ah I such sunshine cannot last.
Tet we've beard no news about you,
So perhaps to grief you've come ;
Oh, we get along best without you,
Willie, pray dou't hurry home!—[Punch.
The California Indians*
Iu a series of twenty-four letters, ou the Indians
of Los Angeles county, written by tbe late Hugo
Reid, (who died iu January, 1S53.) for the Los
Angeiea Star, which have now become extremely
scarce, and considered by American and European ethnologists of great value, the highly curious
fact ie stated that about from the year 1818 to
the year 1834, Santa Catalina, San Clemente and
the other islands of the Santa Barbara Channel,
were often invaded by Indians of the northwest
coast, (what nortwest coast ?) who came down and
killed great numbers of those of the islands.
The remains of those of Sau Clemente, which
were collected iu caves on the Island about 1S33.
showed iu their heads, "the whole of them to
have been possessed of double teeth all round,
both tn the upper and lower jaw!"
As Reid was an educated man, who had resided
in California over twenty years prior to his death,
and moreover was a person of great honesty and
worth, sueh a statement would not have heen
made without his having good foundation for tbe
Btory. What a scientific treat to some of our San
Fraucisco medicos would be the possession of half
dozen of theae Indian skulls of Santa Clemente.
Reid also mentions tbat Padre Jose Maria Zal-
vadeas, (about 1S24,) "reduced the Indian language of San Gabriel Mission to gra ramatical rules
. translated the prayers of the Church, aud preached
a sermon in their language every Sunday." What
has become of this Iudiau vocabulary of Zalvade-
as 7 It would be of the greatest value to American philologist*!. Can any of our friend at Los
Angeles inform qb?
In connection with California Indian vocabularies, we are informed that the Smithsonian lusti-
tute will, a3 soon as circumstances permit, publish a curious vocabulary and grammar of the
Muteon Indian language, of Sau Juan Bautista. in
Monterey couuty, which was prepared by the Mis
uionary Father Filippe Arroya, as long ago as
1815. and containing not less that ninety-four folio pages. This old friar had resided in California from about 1810 to 1842, in which latter year
he died at the Missiou of Santa Yaes, in Santa
Barbara county. The study of Indian languages
had been his mania, and after his vocabulary was
finished, it was the constant plague of his life and
his friendB how be could get it printed. In the
changes and revolutions of the missions and the
country, from 1822 to 1842, the good priest got
changed about from Sauta Clara to Santa Barbara,
and the matter finally lost sightof until the MSS.
book waB fortunately turned up by the Rev. John
Cumelias in 1856, at the mission of Sauta Cruz,
while acting as ^ktholic priest of the parish.-
There is little donot that in all ofthe fwenty-one
missioua of Alta California, fragments of church
catechisms, and likely in some of them, entire
vocabularies are still left, which ought to be preserved and taken care of as matters ot 1 iterary curiosity in the ancient California history, and
which would throw great light on tbe h ore bre-o logy of our State.
A curious account in manuscript was found
about 1831 written by Father Geronimo Bosca-
no, giving a history of the Indians of the mission of San Juan Capistrano iu Los Auseles couuty, among whom the good priest had labored for
twenty five yeara prior to his death iu 1831. A
translation of this account was published in New
York in 1846. in Alfred Robinson's "Life In California."— S. P. Herald.

Description of Downieville.
A correspondent of tbe Christian Advocate
writes thus from Downieville :—
"Leaving Forest City, you start up to Downieville, distance by the trail six miles, by the wagon
road eight miles ; not having any partiality to trails,
I took the road. After having gone up four miles,
you begin the descent, and before you get to the
base of this mountain, you begin to realize that you
are going down to Downieville. The road from the
top to the bottom is a dug road, barely passable for
wagons; not practicable for the stage, it having
made a few trips and abandoned the enterprise. The
longth of the hil! is said to be four miles, although
it did not seem so long to me. It may be I was so
interested with the scenery that meets the eye in
every direction, that I forget the length of the
"long hill," as it is called. Tho distant mountain
peaks covered with snow, and some not very distant,
for one bank of old Winter's remains are still within a few yards of the roadside, some ten or twelve
feet in depth, and twice as many rods in length.
The tall cedars that towered up from the ravines,
the rocky cliffs that could be here and there seen
through the thick forest that covered tbe mountain
Bide, all gave enchantment to the view, and not till I
was within a mile of the beautiful city of Downieville (all towns in California are cities) where vou
have a delightful view ot the village from a particular point that overlooks the place, did I fully realize
that I was going down to Downieville.
"The first, second aud third-view ia each more
and still more enchanting. There are the towering
Sierra Nevadas, in all their beauty and grandeur,
toweriug miles above the little ravine that skirts
their baao. In one direction, oetween two of these
mountains, flows the South Fork of the North F<
ofthe Yuba. In another direction, flows the North
Fork of the North Fork of the Yuba. Downieville
is at the junction of these, and is built upon the
banks ofeach ol these forks, as well as the North
Fork proper. The' town is handsomely laid out,
the different portions being connected by bridges.
Viewed from any of tho numerous mountains that
surround the town, the view is very fine. Dow
ville has three church edifices, a court liouse, and
numerous good business houses The dwellings arc
mostly cottage style—neat, tasty and ornamented
The little ranches all around the village, at the bast
oftlie mountains, now covered with vegetables and
fruit trees, green and fresh iu appearance, contrast
well with the white foaming waters (not here the
muddy Yuba) that run along beside them, and the
white cottages that dot the ground in different di-
Frora tho New York Express.
ST1R.H.1XG NEWS.
The European news in our columns this morning is of stirring interest. The steamers Kangaroo and Ocean Queen came into port in tho course
of yesterday, with additional details of the great
battle of Magenta, the "'fisrt impression" of
which, as telegraphed from Quebec, we published
in the Express of Saturday last. After dark, the
Persia with dales to the llth came to hand, bringing us Intelligence of another battle, and another
Austrian defeat.
A strong probability that Prussia is coming to
the aid of Austria.
Overthrow of the British Ministry.
The mails came to hand, at too late an hour, to
admit of a very careful aualisys of this news,—
wbich may be considered tho most important that
has ever reached us, since the war oommenced.
The London Spectator ofthe 10th, which maintains that it was correct in announcing last night
that Prince Esterhazy was to come on au extra
ordinary mission to Londou, publishes in a post-
cript, the following intelligence from its Paris
correspondent:
■' Thursday Evening.—1 have little fear of be-
in contradicted when I state that Prussia has consented to aid Austria in preserving her possessions
iu Lombardy. Prussia will uphold the treaties of
1813 with al! her power. This uews known to a
few, is perhaps the secret of the continued decline
to-day.,'
Tbe announcement from Sardinian Bources
that the Austrian forces were retreating to th
Adda, is now confirmed by the admission of then-
opponents. The semi-official Vienna Journal states
that the Austrian army is continuing its retreat,
and that at present its head quarters are at Cavat-
tigozzi, iu fromt of Cremona. It is stated by the
Vienna correspondent of the London Times, aud
the statement is so probable that its truth may be
readily admitted, that Geueral Gyulai has been
removed from his command, aud that Field Marshal Hess has beeu appointed Commander-in-
Chief of the Austrian army in Italy. According to
the same authority, the Austrians will oiler the
allies battle on the line of the Adda; but it remains to be seeu whether the Austrian General will
await his assailants ou that stream, or will further
retire to the Mineio, his strongest line of defence.
The announcement despatched to us by telegram
from Turiu that the Austrians have evacuated
P.iVia--upou which a subsequent telegram cast
doubts by stating that they had returned on the
following day—is now said to be officially con-,
firmed. Its correctness no longer seems questionable; for the retreat ofthe Austrians to the Adda
renders it highly improbable that they would
leave troops at Pavia, place which is not regularly fortified and which is tilled with a hostile population. The Austrian garrison of Laveno, on
the Lago Maggiore, has abandoned the fort, and
has been conveyed by the Austrian steamers to
the Swiss end of the Lake. The 650 meu who
composed the garrison reached the Swiss territory
on Wednesday night or Thursday morning, aud on
Thursday evening they were to be removed by
the Swiss authorities from the frontier into the
interior at Belliuzona.
The EmpCror Louis Napoleon and tbe King of
Sardinia proceeded iu state on Thursday to hear
Te Deum sung in the Cathedral at Milan, and
great enthusiasm is stated to have been displayed
by the population King Victor Emanuel On the
same day issued a proclamation to the Lombards,
promising them a liberal and durable regime, and
exhorting them to make sacifices for the national
cause of Italy, The Duchess of Parma bas abandoned tbe duchy, alter releasing the troops from
their oath of allegiance, and the municipality of
Parma had requested the King of Sardinia to assume the government of the State.
Thus the great drama proceeds? When or
whore, or what tbe denouement is to be,-—who
can tell!
But for the exciting news from the seat of war,
the defeat of the Derby-D'Israeli Governmeut
would be, indeed it now is," to some extent, an
event of moment. The vote in the House of Com-
mons](want of confidence) was carried against the
Government by a majority of 13, in a house of
G33 the largest division ever known. Of course,
this final defeat, after a dissolution of Parliament, leaves the Government no option but at
once to tender tiieir resignation to Her Majaesty;
aud a coalition Government will bo formed from
the Liberal side of the House of which Lord Pal
merstou will probably be Premier.
—— n" »l i i|>■!)»■ ■
Important from Englnml.
Parliamentary proceeding" ou the Oth were unimportant. On the 9th, in the House of-Lords,
the Earl of Derby stated in reply to an enquiry,
that it was not the intention of Government to re
commend a grant of a charter to the Romau Oath
olic University of Dublin.
In the House of Commons, Mr. Disraeli laid on
table the promised correspondence on the Italian
question.
On motion of Mr. Dimcombe, a resolution
agreed to calling fer the instructions given to the
British Commissioners at the head-quarters of the
allied aud Austrian armies.
The adjourned debate on the address In response to the Queen's speech wa3 resumed. The
speaker in opposition to the government, and in
support of the " waut of coulidence motion" were,
Mr. Bright.Sir James Grabam,Sergeant Deasy aud
others, while those in defence of Ministers, included Mr. Seymour Fitzgerald, Mr. Kor Seymour
and the Attorney-General for Ireland. The debate was further adjourned to the following day.
On the 10th intst.. Iu the House of Commons the
debate ou the amendment to the address was resumed by Mr. Miluer Gibson, who spoke in opposi
tiou to the government, and was followed on the
same side by Mr. Sidney Herbert, Sir G. C. Lewis,
Lord John Russell, &c- The speakers in support
' the government were Messrs Roebuck and Lind-
y—two ultra liberals—Sir J Packinton and the
Solicitor General.
At two o'clock on Saturday morning tho House
divided, when there appeared :
For the amendment (expressing waut of confidence iu the "ifinislry) 323; against it 310; major-
"ty against Government, 18.
Mr. Gladstone and Messrs. Roebuck and Lindsay
voted with the Government. Only 16 members
out of 654 were absent.
It was supposed that Lord Derby and his colleague would tender their resignation on the day
the Persia sailed, and the Queen would send for
Lord Palmerslon.

The publie are aware that it has beeu the study of
scientific men, architects and builders, for many years
to discover an article for Rooting purposes, that will
withstand sudden changes ot climate, be impervious
to water, and of sure protection against (ire. The
inventor of this roofing labored many years to corn-
Sine articles which would answer the above purpose
■md obviate the difficulties of rust and decay attendant upon tin and shingles, aud the destruction by
tho sun and frost of tlie various compositions used
for roofing. This he succeeded in doing, and now,
after six years of tho severest trial we would invite
the careful atteutien of all interested in such matters,
believing that they will bo fully convinced of its
practical value both for durability and economy, in
which respects wc believe that ils equal is not at
preseut known. This roofing can readily bo applied
to roofs of every description, either steep or fiat,, and
can be put on over shingles or tin, being much cheaper than the first aud at half the cost of the latter.
Two coats of the mastic put on over an old leaky
tin roof, will make it as good as new at one-third of
the cost. In preparing this roofing a heavy drilling
or canvass is used, which is thoroughly saturated
with a perfectly water-proof preparation, after which
it receives a thick coating, upon both sides, of .the
flour of soapstone, which sets into the texture of the
canvass, and gives it a firm body, making it very
elastic and durable. After the canvass, as prepared,
is put upou the roof, another coating of mastic,whieh
is thoroughly filled with sand, is given it, making it
fireproof in every respect. By exposure, this coating becomes firm and solid, giving you a roof that
can be walked upon with perfect impunity, and as
durable as anything known; and we do most candidly
and unhesitatingly believe, far superior to anything
of the kind yet discovered; and atter-a severe tost
of many years, stand as reliable and good as when
first, put on. without change or decay. All that wo
ask is, that a careful examination may be given it,
aud wc feel convinced that it will bear all the recommendation which we oiler of it. Annexed we give
you the names of some of the persons using this
roofing, and to whom we are at liber ty to refer:
